I have installed htw 1.2.4 using stack 1.3.2 on a multi-node amazon system successfully. but after I stop and start the instances, I can’t get HTW startup again.
I did launch the ambari-agent on all secondary servers and the web interface started working where I could perform a startall command, but it failing to start services and I’m getting this error “Puppet has been killed due to timeout” on NameNode Start.

I have seen this report by others, is tehre a workaround for the version we are using.

Hi,
A few things:
1) When you say stop/start the instances, your EC2 instances? Did the public and private DNS names change?
2) Can you post the /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log from the machine running Ambari Server?
3) Can you post the /var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.log from the machine running the NN?
4) Can you post the /var/log/hadoop/hdfs/*namenode* log from the machine running the NN?
Thanks.
